A third batch of acts for the South by Southwest (SXSW) music festival in March has been revealed.

SXSW is billed as one of the world's greatest career launchpads for artists on the brink of greatness.

There will be 300 artists from around the world performing this year, ranging from up-and-comers to veterans.

SXSW organisers in October announced artists such as Armani White and Balming Tiger.

When and where is SXSW Music Festival taking place?

The 2023 SXSW Music Festival takes place on March 13-18 in Austin, Texas.

Who’s performing at SXSW Music Festival?

The latest artists announced include the Manchester legends New Order, rapper and activist Killer Mike, Tangerine Dream, Thus Love and Immersion.

Other confirmed acts include Nanocluster for a special one-off collaborative performance with Thor Harris; Atlanta-bred duo Coco & Clair Clair; and Anwan Glover, better known as Big G and leader of the Backyard Band and more.

As well as live performances, all SXSW visitors will have access to music conferences and exhibitions. These will feature speakers such as Nick Jonas, Blxst, Wu-Tang Clan’s RZA, Eric André, Josh D’Amaro, Tommy Dorfman, Ashley Flowers, Gottmik, Martin Luther King III, Damon Lindelof, and Eva Longoria, among others.
